Floatube 5 Stillwater Lakes Oct. 20-25
With all the fall colors and perfect weather for a week of fishing, my wife and I make some hotel reservations for Mammoth Lake and Reno, i wanted to fish Heenan Lake, Crowley Lake, Davis Lake, Frenchman Lake, and Pyrmaid Lake in six days.
I always want to do a fall road trip down highway 395 and check out the fall colors and the fishing. We had such a good time, that next year i want to add Eagle Lake to the fall road trip.
Heenan Lake: No fish and no grabs in the Southeast end of the lake....water temp. 50 degrees.....the Southwest end of the lake is a good place to check out.
Crowely Lake: The best place to fish is Leighton Springs for some nice fat rainbows to 20 inches....i used a 3 inch UV marabou streamer in 8-10 ft. of water.....water temp. 54 degrees.
Leighton Springs
This little brown grabed my 3 inch marabou streamer
Crowely is so low Mcgee Bay starts at the parking lot.
Davis Lake: Skinny water fishing.....found some pods of rainbows working the shore and the weed beds on the Northend of the lake. Landed 4 trout on my UV marabou streamer....floating and inter. line.....water temp. 53 degrees.

Frenchman Lake: Fished the Northend of the lake in the skinny water, and the deeper weed beds in 7 ft. of water for 7 trout 15-17 inches in 2 hours of fishing....marabou streamer....water temp. 54 degrees....no pictures, left my camer in the room.
Pyramid Lake: Stop at Crosby's to get a fishing permit and seem some very large Cutts on the big fish board for Oct; 13-19 lbs......wow.....the Cutts are very close to shore from Pelican Point to the bay North of Warrior Point....got a late start today, fished for 2 hrs.....hooked 2 fish and lost them....bummer.
